DAYTIMERS

A group of mostly retired individuals meeting monthly for lunch at varying local restaurants. This is a lively and energetic group with a wide range of ages in the over-65 category. Conversations include a variety of topics, catching up with each other, and often involve lots of laughter. Participants take turns choosing the restaurant, so everyone gets to try each other’s favorite haunts. For more information contact Mickey Velkey, [email protected].

THE SOMETHINGS

The Somethings is a group of 20-30 something year old’s finding community with each other as they navigate the changing landscape of jobs, graduate studies, moves and all the other life changes that happen during young adulthood. We gather around scripture for Lenten and Advent devotional series, Home Fellowship meals once a month, pop-up events at breweries and parks, social justice events in our city and show up to support each other’s passions. This is a joyful, curious, boisterous, intentional, tender and inclusive group. Whoever you are and however you move in this world—you are welcome! Please reach out to Rev. Esther Hethcox at [email protected].
